The Yankees-Dodgers World Series Will Be Good for Baseball

 

At this hour, Game 1 of the 2024 World Series is underway between the New York Yankees and the Los Angeles Dodgers.

A Yankees-Dodgers World Series will be good for baseball.

While the two teams have faced off in the World Series 11 times, it is the first time this matchup has come to pass since 1981.

This will serve as nostalgia for the Silent Generation, Baby Boomers and Gen-Xers albeit one tinged with sadness with the deaths of both Fernando Valenzuela and Rudy May earlier this week. 

The Yankees-Dodgers rivalry can now be introduced to a generation of Millennials and Gen Zers. 

It doesn't hurt that the game's two greatest players are on the field - Yankees slugger Aaron Judge and Dodgers powerhouse Shohei Ohtani. 

There's a chance it won't be the last time these two titans face off in October. 

Let the rivalry begin anew.
